Jalebee Cartel is one of the most successful live electronic acts from New Delhi, India and is often credited for single-handedly putting India on the international "EDM" map. Formed in 2004 Jalebee Cartel boasts of numerous releases with various independent record companies from all over the world. Composed of four members, Arjun Vagale (laptop, mixing and scratching), Ashvin Mani Sharma (laptop and synths), Ash Roy (vocals and percussions) and G-Spot Arjun (bass/synth-lines), Jalebee has been taking India by storm. From individual DJ sets to collective live gigs, producing to composing, the multi-talented group pretty much does it all. The group has garnered support from A-list DJs like DJ Aqeel, NYK, Pete Tong, Tiesto, Dave Seaman, Carl Cox, Nick Warren, James Zabiela, Tiesto, Josh Wink, Hernan Cattaneo, Umek, John Acquaviva, Nic Fanciulli, Kasey Taylor and even Apl.de.ap from The Black Eyed Peas. The band's recent album, ONEPOINTNOTHING released on the 25th March 2009, gained interest from both fans and media alike.

Its name comes from an Indian sweet, ''jalebee''.

Jalebee Cartel

Jalebee Cartel hit dance charts worldwide with its debut release "Beautiful Rising" in 2006. Since then they have released 24 singles, 31 remixes and have been featured on numerous compilations. Their debut album "ONEPOINTNOTHING" gain a lot of interest from fans and DJ's alike . More recently, their latest release "Heat Wave" received support from Carl Cox. Their track "Destiny" was voted Best Sunset Soundtrack on BBC. Radio shows from Argentina to Europe to Indonesia feature Jalebee tracks on stations like BBC Radio, Proton Radio, Pulse Radio, Virus (CH), DI FM and Dance Radio GR. Its own monthly shows, "Deep Fried Jalebee" on Frisky Radio and "Twisted Sweet" on Dance Radio GR bring in huge listenership. The group has garnered worldwide acclaim through international press, including Rolling Stone (India) and MixMag (UK).

Live Act

The live act features Jalebee's own compositions, which are broken up, twisted and served fresh with ethnic sounds thrown in for good measure. But it's a funky, international sound that's unlikely to be recognized as Indian. By generating a live set from electronica, they're breaking certain boundaries particular to Indian audiences. The live element creates an extra edge, one that's constantly changing and evolving. The result is a potent, energetic livewire of influences from progressive to techno to electro, overlaid with live vocal harmonies, percussions, drums, tablas and experimental bass sounds. Jalebee's sound isn't about neat packaging: it's about fusing genres to create a raw, electric style of urban dance music.

The group has performed at the hottest clubs and biggest festivals across India (Sunburn, The Big Chill), the Netherlands (Vivre, Paradiso (Amsterdam)), Germany (C/O Pop / Cologne), France (Paris, Lille 3000 / Lille), Dubai (Chillout Festival 08), and Singapore, where they were crowned "South Asia Band Winners" for the Sutasi TV Show 2009.

DJ Sets

Arjun, Ashvin and Ash were successful independent DJs prior to forming the Cartel, and they bring varied influences to the mixing table. The DJ sets are known for their adrenaline pumping sounds and dance floor banging energy. With a constantly evolving sound, the Cartel has introduced Indian club-goers to the international underground club culture. Coupled with live precessions and visuals, Jalebee Cartel has not only played in the hottest night club in India but also in New York, South Korea, Indonesia, Russia and Bahrain. They have played alongside international heavyweights DJs like Dave Seaman, D-Nox, Dousk, Brandon Block and Judge Jules among others.

Production

If Jalebee's live act and DJ sets account for one half of its success, the other half lies in its globally recognized production skills. The collective's list of achievements includes composing the MTV Style Awards 2005 "Theme Music"; remixing/performing at India Fashion Week 2003-07; writing the background scores for TV shows; sound designing and creating an original soundtrack for the indie film Cherry on Top, which was selected for numerous international film festivals, and the forthcoming documentary-styled film Finding Nuno. Nokia has also licensed "Tough Cookie" for the TV advertisement for its Navigator device. This in turn has become their first music video directed by Bharat Sikka. It can be seen on YouTube & vh1.

ONEPOINTNOTHING

Jalebee Cartel's first full length album titled "ONEPOINTNOTHING" released on the 25th of March 2009. The band says that ONEPOINTNOTHING is the sound of Jalebee Cartel mixing up genres in a 70 minute trip that rewires the future and contorts the past. The album was not only released in CD media and online downloads, but also on USB pen drives; making them the first artists from India to experiment with such medium.

Style

The album is said to be a mixture of various genres of dance music with numerous elements of rock music. The band says that the album contains many tracks which move away from Jalebee Cartel's floor banging sound making the entire album a more listening album.

Tour

Jalebee Cartel start their "ONEPOINTNOTHING India Tour 09" on the 20th of March. The tour hit fifteen cities in a span of 25 days. The band's first and last gig of the tour was broadcast live on the internet, making them the first electronic act in India to do a LIVE webcast. The tour is said to have created waves in the club circuit across India and has set the trend of artist tours in India.

Regathering

Jalebee Cartel put out a promo in Dec 2007 called "Regathering" in association with adidas Originals. The promo contains a mix set of their international releases and remixes up until then. The CD was distributed for free all across India and created a huge buzz in the club circuit. The band plans to make this a regular feature in the future.

Father Kieron Hobbs was the new priest at St.Timothy's Parish Catholic Church in January 2008. He was taken in by Myra McQueen, who offered him a room without consulting any of her family. While settling into the family, he had caught the eyes of Mercedes and Michaela McQueen. Committed to his religion, he looked out for John Paul McQueen, trying to advise him against a relationship. During an argument, Kieron came out to John Paul. Following this, John Paul threatened to out Kieron if he did not tell Myra the truth, but Kieron said he was happy with his life and stopped John Paul from telling. After a failed Evissa Fashion show at the SU bar, John Paul and Kieron bonded over beer, leading to a kiss. The following day, both agreed to forget about the kiss and resumed their friendship with a game of Truth or Dare, which ended in John Paul publicly purchasing beer in his underwear. However, their relationship became strained after Kieron snapped when he found out John Paul had mentioned him to Hannah Ashworth. A few days later, John Paul seen Kieron baptising Charlie Dean. John Paul realised he could not come between Kieron and his faith, and asked him to move out. In spring 2008, John Paul and Kieron were still not over each other. Kieron made friends with Kris Fisher. John Paul could not stop thinking of him during the 10KM charity run. Following a discussion afterwards, they admitted to their feelings and slept together. Unfortunately for Kieron, their night made John Paul realise he still had feelings for Craig Dean. He told Kieron and they had a fight. Kieron went to live with Niall Rafferty. Kieron confessed his love for John Paul and said he was prepared to risk all for their relationship. While showering after having sex, they were discovered by Steph Dean and Niall and Kieron was forced to end the relationship, walking out on John Paul while Michaela hid, listening. When Michaela told Mercedes that she thought she saw Kieron cheating with Kris, Mercedes punched Kieron in the face. Kieron realised that he loved John Paul McQueen, and was willing to risk everything to be with him. Before the wedding of Max Cunningham and Steph Dean, Myra found out about John Paul and Kieron thanks to Niall. Myra then told the rest of the church at the wedding. After insulting Kieron, she was removed from the church. With approval from Steph and Max, Kieron finished the ceremony. Kieron was shattered knowing his position in the church was ruined, John Paul took this as a rejection. Kieron assured John Paul that he was his life now, and he told Father Raymond he was leaving the church. Myra, when she heard from John Paul that he and Kieron were now in an open relationship was disgusted. After Tina McQueen was in a coma due to Niall pushing her down stairs, John Paul rushed to the hospital. Niall told Kieron that he was tearing their family apart. Upset that he had caused grief for the McQueens, Kieron left for a few weeks. After time away in Aberdeen, Kieron returned and returned to his relationship with John Paul. An annoyed Niall tried to make Kieron think John Paul had spent all his time partying. Kieron had befriended Ste Hay and, while everyone else turned their back on Ste, Kieron took pity and did everything he could to help him after splitting with Amy Barnes, even risking his own life despite a phobia of heights on scaffolding when Ste threatened to commit suicide. Kieron quit his position as a priest. After realising the sacrifices Kieron had made, John Paul asked Kieron to marry him. After a moment, Kieron accepted. Myra was outraged, but soon accepted their plans. Fortunately, the return of Craig Dean led Kieron and John Paul to separate. Some months earlier, Myra had told Kieron about the son she had given up at birth, and by September 2008, Kieron had tracked him down. On 5 September 2008, he confronted Niall, who then poisoned Kieron's drink. During Kieron's final moments, Niall confessed to putting Tina in a coma, drugging Michaela, and making Myra discover John Paul and Kieron's love affair. After Kieron died, Niall makes it look like suicide. When John Paul returned, he found Kieron's body. He called for an ambulance. John Paul sobbed as Kieron was taken away in a body bag. John Paul did not find out it was murder until Niall attempted to kill the McQueens in October 2008.

Ash Roy is the eldest of the Roy siblings. He first appeared in November 2008, the last of his family to arrive. Upon his arrival, Ash appeared as a wealthy, smug businessman. The character left on 11 September 2009 when he was disowned by parents Govinda and Bel for telling sister Anita she was adopted.

Ash started flirting with Mandy Richardson and opened a take-away in Hollyoaks, Relish. He also bought Tan & Tumble from Tony Hutchinson. After buying it, Jacqui McQueen, who was the manager, was never told and was upset. In January 2009, Relish was burnt down by racist Gaz Bennett.

Ash began a relationship with Hannah Ashworth and became a love-rival of Justin, who had developed feelings for her. In March, Hannah and Justin became closer and Ash was jealous. After Josh Ashworth decided to sell his motor bike, Justin made an offer. Ash found out and bought it at a higher price. Justin succeeded in buying it by selling Ste Hay's games console. Ash bought another bike and challenged Justin to a race, which took place in April. Ash tampered with Justin's bike so he could win, but Hannah got on the bike. She fell off and ended up in hospital. Ash told everyone it was Justin who tampered with the bike, but under questioning from Calvin Valentine, he admitted he did not see Justin tampering with it. Leila found out the truth and told Hannah, who then dumped him. To make them think Justin was bad for Hannah, Ash planted food in her room to make it look like she was having a relapse. He told Suzanne Ashworth that Hannah was not eating. After Warren Fox's death, Ash began using Warren's phone to text his foster brother Spencer Gray. Acting as Warren, he told Spencer that he was still alive and needed him to sell The Loft. Spencer sold The Loft to Ash, who was then discovered by Calvin and Sasha Valentine.

Ash started putting Ravi up for illegal street fights, unaware he had been diagnosed with a cerebral aneurysm. Ash found out, yet let Ravi go ahead with a fight, which left him slightly blinded. Leila made Ash accept the blame for it. Ash employed Loretta Jones at Tan & Tumble and both he and Ravi began to have feelings for her. After Loretta saw Ravi's violent side on a date, Ash flirted with her and went in for a kiss, which Ravi caught. Ravi then, despite his condition, signed for another illegal fight. Ash, Loretta, Anita, Kris and Bel all rushed to stop him. After doing so, angry Ravi taunted Ash, which resulted in him punching him, making Ravi fall into a coma. Leila and Anita blamed Ash, who then tried to comfort Anita who was worried she could inherit the aneurysm, however Ash told her she could not, as she was adopted. Ash manipulated Anita into keeping quiet about what he told her, and, to prove it, showed her a birth certificate listing a different mother. Anita told the Roys she knew she was adopted. When confronted, Ash told Bel, Gov and Leila that Anita had found the birth certificate and came to him, however Ravi, who awakened from his coma, told them he was awake when Ash told Anita. Leila, Ravi and Gov then told Ash to leave. Ash pleaded with Bel to choose either him or Ravi. Realising he had ruined the family, Bel also told Ash to leave. Ash then tried to convince Anita and Leila to help his parents forgive him, but both refused. Leila then revealed to Gilly Roach that Ash had planted food in Hannah Ashworth's room to make it look like she had taken a relapse. Ash then closed down Relish and Tan & Tumble and left Hollyoaks.
